Genomic characterization and comparative analysis of antibiotic resistance and virulence in Bangladeshi and global Klebsiella pneumoniae ST48 strains.

Klebsiella pneumoniae is an opportunistic pathogen associated with nosocomial infections, known for its multidrug resistance (MDR) and biofilm-forming abilities. ST48 is a particularly concerning sequence type and an emerging international clone linked to global spread and MDR infections. This study examines the comprehensive genomic epidemiology of the local and global populations of K.

Genomic epidemiology of multidrug-resistant clinical Acinetobacter baumannii in Bangladesh.

The rising frequency of multidrug-resistant (MDR) Acinetobacter baumannii infections represents a significant public health challenge in Bangladesh. Genomic analysis of bacterial pathogens enhances surveillance and control efforts by providing insights into genetic diversity, antimicrobial resistance (AMR) profiles, and transmission dynamics. In this study, we conducted a comprehensive bioinformatic analysis of 82 whole-genome sequences (WGS) of A.
